Jeff Sneider of The Wrap reports that Michael Green, who worked on Warner Bros.' Green Lantern and The Flash movie scripts, has been hired to write Ridley Scott's Prometheus sequel.

According to Jeff Sneider of The Wrap, screenwriter Michael Green has been hired to write the Prometheus sequel. He'll be taking over for Jack Paglen (“Transcendence”) who wrote the original draft. When will we see this film? Well, the other day Fox announced that an untitled Ridley Scott film will be released March 4, 2016, and sources for The Wrap have verified that the date is for Prometheus 2. The sequel is said to be a priority as Fox is ignoring all the criticism that was placed on the original and just staring at the $400 million the R-rated film grossed worldwide. As for Green, he worked on screenplays for Green Lantern, The Flash (film), Smallville, Heroes, and is still finishing the new Blade Runner script that he began working on last year for Ridley Scott.

Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
